The News and Courier says that those
VINO Witnessed Charleston's two games
with Savannah, aud those with Philadei-
phia and Detroit, need not be told that
the two straight victories obtained over
savannah are not owing to any special
weakness on the part OF the visiting team,
but rather to the splendid work OF the
Charleston players, who, while tritie
weak in field work, have perhaps no
equals, and certainly no superIors, in
batting, in the United States, In these
two last games they have been fortunate
in punching their mis-, and have thus
beaten the Forest City team.

Three straight defeats is Savannah
record at Charleston.
Less than 100 people went to the
Theatre to witness the telegraph report
OF yesterdays game. WrenOlds was
counted on 20 put check on the Caro-
linians' smuggling, and there were hopes
of Sayannab's winning at least one out Of
the three games. When, at the end OF
the third inning, the Pennsylvania had
yielded twelve hits, with total of
eleven runs, the crowd wanted him
bounced right away.
McAdams was then put in to pitch, and
held tho singers down. lie was sup
ported by Dallas, who, although he showed
signs OF overw0rk. caught an almost
fauitless game. Some OF his stops were
almost miraculous. Had II c Adams been
| III the box at tue start Savannah would
have won the game beyond doubt. The
team played well together, and its batting,
base running and fielding was superior to
anything that it has shown vet. Reiliy's
playing at short stop was one Of the fea-
! lures Of the game. Adams played third.
The Charleston's battery was Dr0udy
and Grady. The home cub batted
| heavily, and piled up 20 base hits with a
total Of % bases. but were not able to
| come up 10 Cnarlesto n's 26 hits with a
total OF SO baees. TWAS a smuggling game

Savannah has shown the need in the
| past three games of q tirst-class pitcher.
| Jones and WrenOds were both put into
the box uutrIed and Impractical. They
are both speedy, but need practice before
they VIII be able to do effective work. The
rest of the team, with one or two eXcep.
tons, is made up of good material. Peltz,
! In centre field, is, without doubt, one of
the best players IN the league.
The club will return home this morn
ing and will play the Charlestons here to-
morrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. On
Wednesday night they Will leave for
Memphis, where they will open the league
season on Saturday. The Charleston club
will also go direct from here to Nashville,
